Cynthia Years ago, due to a series of circumstances, I had a stud dog come to my bitch for service. He was unproven and unable to perform. He seemed in pain when he tried to breed. I took him to my vet for an AI. His output was extremely bloody and there were just a few immotile sperm. The diagnosis was a severe urinary tract infection and he was put on antibiotics. His sperm count improved but was never normal. His desire for breeding never developed. I believe he sired only one litter of two pups and this was done by AI. Very sad as he was a gorgeous Cavalier.
